MARTIN. Among the many fine farms in Cass County whose broad acres yielding abundant harvests affording evidence of skillful and careful cultivation and with their commodious and substantial farm buildings and neat surroundings forming a pleasant feature in the landscape those of our subject one in Plattsmouth Township where he makes his home and the other in Rock Bluff Township are as valuable as any. Mr. Martin is numbered among the early pioneers of this county and his fortunes have grown with its growth as he has risen from poverty to affluence by the exercise of a steady determination to succeed by thrifty and industrious habits. The birthplace of our subject was in the north of France Dec. 12 1832. His father Charles Martin who was born in the same locality was reared to agricultural pursuits. At the age of twenty-one he joined the army and served four years was with his regiment in the war with Spain and fought in some of the most important battles. In one of these he was severely wounded and was discharged from the service on account of disability. He returned to his native France and followed farming there for several years employing his time in the winter season in a woodwork establishment. In 1842 with his wife and six children he set sail from Havre on an American-bound vessel and landed at New York twenty-four days later. He located in Stark County Ohio buying a tract of partly improved land there and engaged in farming there for two years. He then sold and moved to Indiana going by the lake and in wagons as there were no railways in that part of the country in that day. He bought land in Allen County seven miles north of Ft. Wayne then a small village. He built a hewed log house of the most primitive style there being no sawed lumber or nails used in its construction split puncheon was used for floor door and window casings and the roof was made of shakes held in place by the weight of poles. In the years of hard labor that followed he performed the pioneer task of clearing a farm which remained his home until his death in 1862. The maiden name of his wife was Frances Misgny and she was also a native of France. She now lives on the old homestead at the venerable age of eighty-six years. They were the parents of nine children seven of whom grew to maturity as follows: August C. J. Lizzie Delphis Jane Mary Christina. The two youngest were born in America. Our subject was ten years of age when he left the home of his birth in France and accompanied his parents to this country. He had attended school in his native land in the winter season and as soon as large enough he had been set to herding cattle in summer. After coming to America he assisted his father in clearing a farm continuing to live with his parents until he was twenty-one. He had however commenced working out at fourteen years of age being thus employed the greater part of the year receiving from $8 to $10 a month in payment for his services. When he attained his majority he commenced to run an engine in a furniture factory his wages amounting to $7 a week out of which he had to pay his board. He ran the engine for three years when the company suspended. He was then engaged as an engineer in a round house at Ft Wayne. In the fall of 1857 he started for the Territory of Nebraska accompanied by his wife coming by rail to St. Louis and thence by steamer to Plattsmouth. This was then but a little hamlet with a few habitations four stores and a saw and grist mill. The land around here was held by the claimants who asked exorbitant sums for their claims and as our subject's means were limited he could not afford to buy a claim and enter it at the land-office as the men were all banded together to defend their property. As he could not get land he sought employment in a sawmill one winter and then bought a pair of oxen and engaged at teaming. In 1859 he prepared to go to Pike's Peak but before he started emigrants returning from there told such discouraging stories of their ill-luck that he concluded not to venture. He rented a farm three miles south of the city and three years later he had been so prosperous since coming to the Territory that he was enabled to buy it. He continued to reside on that place until June 1885. During that time he had been more than ordinarily successful in his work had made money and invested it in land and had become the owner of 363 acres in Plattsmouth all in one body. Besides he has thirty acres of valuable timber land in this township and a fine farm of eighty acres in Rock Bluff Township. On his Plattsmouth farm he has erected a commodious conveniently arranged brick house and a stone barn besides a good set of frame buildings. Mr. Martin was married March 3 1857 to Miss Lucy Pangnard and they have four children living Charles L. May N. Lillie Rose and Effie Belle. Mrs. Martin was born in the village of Moutier the Canton of Berne Switzerland. Her father Luther Pangnard was born in Renau in the same canton and his father David Pangnard was also a native of Moutier his wife's name Augustine born in Jocot Guillarnod where he spent his entire life working at his trade of watchmaker. Mrs. Martin's father Luther Pangnard was reared on a farm and in early manhood married Jane Susan Frances Achpacker also a native of the Canton of Bern. Her father Jean Pierre Achpacker was born in the same canton of German parentage. In the spring of 1850 Mr. Pangnard set sail from Havre with is family on board an American-bound vessel 'Metoka ' and in the month of May twenty-six days later landed at New York with his wife and four children. He located in Newville thirty miles south of Ft. Wayne and renting land there began to carry on farming. But his health soon failed and in August 1851 he passed away from the scenes of earth. Mrs. Martin's mother died at the home of a daughter Adelia Zemmermann in St. Joseph Mo. She had been twice married. By her first marriage she had four children namely: Lucy Adelia Elizabeth and Luther. Lucy was born Jan. 12 1839 and was eleven years old when she emigrated to America. By her first husband's death the mother had been left in poverty with four children and as she had not the means to support them properly she yielded them to the care of strangers and Mrs. Martin went to Ft. Wayne and there found good homes with strangers and earned her own living residing there until her marriage. She is a most estimable lady an excellent housewife who looks carefully after her household and the comfort of its inmates and is a member of the Presbyterian Church. Mr. Martin is a valuable and useful member of this community standing high as a man and a citizen. In his home he is all that a good husband and a kind father can be and in his relations with his neighbors he is uniformly obliging and courteous. Charles Joseph Henri Martin Family 1843 Emigration Story In the spring of 1843 Charles Joseph Henri Martin and family were brought by wagons of friends and neighbors to le Havre de Grace to board the ship “Duchess d’ Orleans.” They actually left France on 28 Mar 1843 but only after a very hectic episode in Le Havre involving son Delphin. The story is told that during their short stay in Le Havre awaiting their embarkation Charles brought his 6 year old son Delphin to a local store to buy him a hat. The father told Delphin to wait by the door while hr went to the rear of the store to pay for the purchase. But the six year old boy understood him to say that he should go to the boarding house where they had been staying for a day and a night to await the ship. Meanwhile the rest of the family was already at the dock and Delphin got separated from them. After a frantic search Delphin was finally located and a subsequent race for the ship. But when they arrived the ship had already left the dock with some of the family members already on board. Only after a signal for the ship to stop was made a small boat was pressed into service. And after rowing about ½ mile the family was once again united. This was a time of peace and stability under King Louis-Phillipe. Though there were some signs of discontent that would bring about the revolution of 1848 the farmlands of northeast France had thrived during the peace following Waterloo. But it is surmised that the family felt threatened by the principle of equal partition among heirs which was written into the Code Napoleon. This resulted in landholdings being cut into narrow strips (ribbon farms) the proportion changing from one share for every four inhabitants in 1826 to one in every three in 1842. Charles JH Martin owned a farm a short distance northeast of L’Isle sur le Doubs France which he sold shortly before emigrating. Aggressive shipping lines established ticket offices in Franche-Comté and Alsace-Lorraine. After leaving France late March the Martin family arrived in New York some 3-1/2 weeks later on 22 April. The records show that the primary immigrant was Charles Martin entry number 6870492. Accompanying family members: Jeanne age 41 Auguste 12 Constance 10 Elise 8 Delphin 6 and Eugenie 2. Immigrants from the two aforementioned regions of eastern France typically headed for several particular French settlements in Ohio Indiana and Pennsylvania. They especially favored the sister cities of Louisville Stark County Ohio and Besancon Allen County Indiana. Shortly after their arrival in New York the family set out for Louisville Ohio (near Canton) via the Hudson River and the Eire Canal. The Martins bought a farm near Louisville which they kept for less than a year. The farm was then sold but the family spent the winter in Louisville awaiting the spring thaw. On the 10th day of April 1844 they arrived in Fort Wayne Indiana via the Wabash & Eire Canal. Eventually they settled on an 80 acre farm in Perry Township Allen County Indiana for which Charles paid three dollars per acre. The farm was located near another French settlement about five miles north of Ft. Wayne called Academie. There they helped found the St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church. Earlier Academie had been variously known as the ‘Pichon Settlement’ Nouveau Gaul New France ‘Froyale Settlement’ and finally in 1874 Academie. The latter was derived from the nearby Academy of the Sacred Holy Cross which served as a Catholic Seminary for girls and young women.
